A stunt group attempting the world’s longest basketball shot is hoping Dallasites will enjoy watching their version of the ball drop this New Year’s Eve.

Dude Perfect, started by five men in college at Texas A&M, stopped traffic off and on Thursday morning as they shot dozens of basketballs from the 560-foot tower.

The group shot video and coordinated their stunt with WFAA-TV (Channel 8) and police to manage traffic for a special for the station’s televised Big D NYE celebration, said 26-year-old Cory Cotton, one of the stunt men.

After about an hour, the five stunt-men and others were unsuccessful in making a shot in the basketball court in a Reunion Tower parking lot.
